Thus see we partly how David goeth about to show himself thank full again unto God for the inestimable benefits, that he hath given him. He will mortify his carnal affects, & patiently suffer what so ever cross, persecution, trouble or affliction be laid upon his back for Gods truths sake.

All wrath, indignation, malice, cursed speaking
